I am here because the Butler County Children’s Service Board took away my friends kids and put them with there drug addict father. All for no good reason. They didn’t even charge my friend! And they sill refuse to give her kids back to her. The kids are unkept and always sick now that they are with their father! But the BCCSB said she’s just trying to get “revenge” by complaining! They even told her that because her ex smokes pot there would always be food in the house and that was ok with them!!!!

I am very happy to find this site. It is extremely very educative and helpful. Keep up the good work! I am here because I am very concerned that some good parents are being falsely accused of abusing their children, and consequently being prosecuted, convicted and imprisoned. That is wrong and should stop.

I took 3 semesters of Human Services course work not too long ago. I was learning how to become a CPS case worker. I never finished college because I realized that was the wrong field for me, now I am under investigation for the second time since November 2007. It seems to me that I must have missed alot in college- my professors told me that CPS’s job was to preserve family life not devestate it; which is what I’m going thru now. My ex-husband is calling them as soon as a case closes saying the same things: I’m smoking crack-cocaine and living with a convicted child molester. The second half of the acusations are slightly correct. I will admit that, my bf is in therapy for what he has done and his counselor is standing behind us, saying that my son is SAFE. CPS however doesn’t see things that way. I have agreed to drug tests, as I don’t do drugs, yet they continue to assume that my own god-given child doesn’t belong with me.

Comment by Danielle — April 2, 2008 @ 1:25 pm

I left a message in March posts, but I am a CPS worker and I am willing to help anyone understand the CPS system and give advice to people who need it. As a CPS worker our jobs are to preserve families and NOT destroy them. However, people forget that when they have been in the field too long. When I do my work with families, I work hard to provide services to my families to prevent their children from being removed. I will work with a drug addict the hardest to ensure that their children remain with them if they are willing to get the help they need to get off drugs. Sometimes that means protective orders in court, but removals are the last option and should not be done unless the child is in extreme danger and the parent (s) have no interest in protecting their child(ren). Please ask me questions and I am glad to assist and answer whatever I can.

Comment by Damaris Ramirez — April 2, 2008 @ 11:12 pm

4 months ago cps took my grandson. They charged my daughter with medical neglect and abondoment, both which were ridiculous.They dropped those 2 charges and are looking for anything and everything to keep him. My husband and I were finger printed and had a back ground check so we could bring him home to our home but they keep making excuses for that not to happen. We are so afraid they are going to try to adopt him out. The only thing my daughter is guilty of is missing a couple of doctor appts. They lie, they make things up to use against her, it has been a nightmare. He needs to be with his family. We have had visits with him where he is dirty and he smells, cps said they were going to get him out of there but he is still there. What is going on here?

Comment by Cheryl — April 3, 2008 @ 12:13 am

CHERYL, we know what you’re going through. My niece had her baby taken away and CPS has NOTHING and they continue to ‘reach’ for anything. Please read our story on our website. My niece and her baby need each other, just as your grandson needs his mother. CPS believes they have the power of GOD and because of the confidentiality clause due to working with minors, they have NO accountability what-so-ever! Whatever they write on their reports is the law because no one checks the validity of them. CPS LIES LIES LIES! They are THE most corrupt government agency that I am aware of.

CPS is pulling the same kind of garbage with my sister and her husband (grandparents) as with you. And of course with my niece, the baby’s mom. You need to arm yourself, read everything you can about CPS. Scan this website for anything and everything. LEARN YOUR RIGHTS! Did you know that you as grandparents have the RIGHT to visitation?

I will be praying for you and everybody on this website. Our baby (my grand-niece) is in the care of her alcoholic father who also has an ager issue, and CPS wants to grant full custody to him! All because he’s completed anger management and alcohol abuse courses AND because he’s had more time with a parent aide. My niece was not assigned a parent aide for three months after the baby’s father was assigned one. CAN ANYBODY ELSE HERE SMELL FOUL? So because my niece has had less time with a parent aide (because CPS couldn’t afford her one) she is being punished. You know why? BECAUSE SHE HAS DONE NOTHING AND THEY ARE RUNNING SCARED!

So Cheryl, FIGHT, FIGHT, FIGHT! And NEVER give up!

GOD BLESS YOU AND YOUR FAMILY!

Comment by Deanna for Megan & Adia Belle — April 3, 2008 @ 7:10 am

LET’S ALL FIGHT CPS TOGETHER!

People, it will take ALL of us to do something about the corrupt nature of CPS. They and the state receives money for ‘bringing’ in and placing children somewhere other than with the children’s families.

If we all come together, in EVERY state and FIGHT and FIGHT HARD, WE CAN DO SOMETHING! GOD can move mountains on the drop of a dime so let’s all band together!

Please visit our website or email me at dayspring63 at cox.net.

LET’S FIGHT TOGETHER PEOPLE! GOD BLESS ALL OF YOU!

Comment by Deanna for Megan & Adia Belle — April 3, 2008 @ 7:21 am

Deanna—–etc.

I now have ALL my granddaughters I my permenant care and control, unrestricted, per the judges orders!!! I now only answer to that judge 1/2 hour per year. Thats’ it.

He slapped CPS’ hands for the foul play and perjury he caught them in. He put a forma admonishment on the record during the final 2 hearings.

I may have them all back, BUT I am continuing to fight because I have seen judges come back months later and suddenly change their minds, removing the kids.

I will not let that happen. With every conversion I have to have with CPS, even though our case was ordered dismissed over a month ago, I let them know we all now know our rights and will not let them trample on us again. They can just send everything thru our family atty!!!

I am told, our press release is just about ready, and the petition for the Federal court IS ready. We are just waiting to file becasue CPS is STILL calling with excuses for contact with us. It’s harrassment! They lost! Deal with it!!!!!

We just keep adding their attempts at harrassment after dismissal to our petition.

Comment by Cheryl — April 3, 2008 @ 8:43 am

I think that yes, CPS do sometimes make mistakes, but I am a child that was taken from my biological parents due to abuse when I was six months old, SIX MONTHS, and am now happily with an adoptive family at age nineteen. I believe CPS does the best that it can with the laws in place. If not for them, then thousands of children would still be in homes where they are daily abuse, neglected, and just all around treated beyond horribly. To you who say that you were falsely accused, well, there must have been a reason someone falsely accused you. If its false, then you should be able to prove it. Don’t blame the system for doing its job.

That’s why I thank CPS, because who knows where I would be or what condition I would be in now if it wasn’t for them.

Comment by Cindy — April 3, 2008 @ 9:34 am

And regards to Cheryl, your daughter should not have missed the doctors appointments. IF they were scheduled, then they were important. Don’t blame CPS for bad parenting.

Comment by Cindy — April 3, 2008 @ 9:36 am

I AHVE AN UNUSUAL SITUATION, MY TWINS WERE TAKEN AWAY FROM US AFTER MY THEN 7 MONTH OLD DAUGHTER HAD 2 UNEXPLAINED FRATURES. I TOOK ME DAUGHTER NBACK & FORTH TO THE PEDIATRICIAN, THE HOSPITAL & AN ORTHOPEDIST IN NA MATTER OF 3-4 WEEKS ASKING WHY MY DAUGHTER STOP USING HER ARM & LEG, AFTER THE FORTH WEEK I THEN TOOK HER TO ANOTHER HOSPITAL FOR HELP. WELL THIS IS WHEN OUR NIGHTMARE BEGAN. THE HOSPITAL DID AN EXRAY & SAW 2 FRATURES & IMMEDIATELY CALLED CPS STATING WE ABUSE OUR CHILDREN. WHEN I FOUND OUT SHE HAD A FRATURE I FELT SHE HAD SOMETHING WRONG WITH HER BONES. SHE NEVER FELL, GOT HURT OR EVEN CRIED IN PAIN. I EALLY NEW THERE WAS SOMTHING WRONG WITH HER. TEH HOSPITAL REFUSED TO DO THE TESTING & MY CHILDREN NOW ARE 1 & i STILL DO NOT HAVE CUSTODY. WE HAVE FOUND OUT THAT SHE DOES HAVE A BONE DISEASE & THIS IS WHY HER BONES HAVE BROKEN, BUT CPS IS STILL GIVING US SUCH A HARD TIME. THE CHILDREN HAVE BEEN LIVING IN OUR HOME WITH SUPERVISION. BUT THIS HAS JUST COMPLETELY PUT SUCH A BURDEN ON OUR FAMILY.

Comment by Kelly — April 3, 2008 @ 11:15 am

Hi,
If c.p.s. files a parental rights termination motion, are the
parents rights definetly terminated?
My caseworker claims they don’t
make much money,but why is she
against me? Any advice is grealty
appreciated. Good luck with your
cases.

Comment by Carrie — April 3, 2008 @ 4:19 pm

I would like to clear up something in regards to Cindy’s comment. One of the doctor appointments my daughter was running late, she called and told them she would be 10 minutes late ( I was there when she called. The Dr.s office said they would have to reschedule her). I didn’t realise that missing one of two doctors appts. was considered bad parenting, and certainly not grounds to take your child away.

Comment by Cheryl — April 3, 2008 @ 11:42 pm

I’m here because CPS took my 16 year old daughter. While it’s true that her and I had a fight and I took it out on a door I feel that CPS over reacted. My daughter who was not hurt is now in a foster home. The ex-husband told Social workers lies about me so this is the reason CPS is treating me bad. They are violating Hippa laws by faxing documents to my doctor, they have lied to the Court, refused me my visitation.They won’t transfer my case to Northern California where my work is and and I can’t leave my child. Financially I am going upside down but they don’t care. These people are ruthless. I’d like to see CPS be reformed because they are corrupt. I need an attorney fast. I’m near San Luis Obispo 805-461-5338

Comment by Kathleen Dearinger — April 4, 2008 @ 2:10 am

I’m here because my neighbor TRIED to have my kids taken from me. She told them I was unfit because I was on depression meds, that my husband threatened to strangle our son, that my oldest son was too violent because he wore army clothes all the time and that she thinks he molests my daughter! and that my husband is never home, and underware was shown in our basement (her kids were 2&4 and mine were 2, 4 ,7) TG all charges were dropped. But I have to live next to her, and see her everyday going about her business and living life, while I am suffering from what she did (its been 2 years) and everytime my door bell rings I panic and find I cant do things because she will be that the same places. I even tried to forgive her and they want nothen to do with me. I worry what she is telling people at school about me and neighbors. Its just not fair. I am not a perfect mom, but I sre didnt deserve this!

Comment by Jeri Fell — April 4, 2008 @ 5:59 am

Cindy, My husband & I are victims of totally false allegations & hearsay. I was pregnant at the times the accusations occured & they snatched the baby, under the assumption that ‘there might be abuse’. Well, there was NEVER any abuse to begin with! They conducted a major witchhunt in my case.Where does Child Predatory Services come up with the money to actively pursue cases of non-abuse. Oh Yea, thru Title IV funding. This is a 6 billion dollar a year industry. Yes kids that are really being abused need help & the perpertrators punished to the full extent of the law (including fosterers), but they waste too much time & resourses on flimsy neglect cases such as my own! Here where I live, they hate straight 2 parent married families & embrace ‘alternative’ lifestyles. The caseworker involved is a lesbian, as well as the corrupt judge who gives convicted child molesters their kids back, but throws the book at us!

Comment by Susan — April 4, 2008 @ 6:23 am

Jeri, I know the feeling! The excuse of a human being that snitched on me lives directly across the street for me in a 4 plex. This all began in Aug. of 05 & the stupid b*tch still hasn’t moved. She always sits outside smoking, facing my house too making my skin crawl. I know she’s a DHS goon, but she don’t work. Must be nice. I bust my ass at 2 jobs. The feminazis that have my 3 kids don’t work either and are always together in a codependant relationship. My oldest hates it there, and she is old enough to choose where she wants to live, but Colorado is so corrupt & the nazis like the money too much.

Comment by Susan — April 4, 2008 @ 6:28 am

Dear Cindy,
Missing a doctor’s appointment or two is not by any means bad parenting. You have been totally brainwashed by the system. What was the reason you were taken from your parents? Do you really know the whole truth about your removal or just what you’ve heard from your adoptive parents and CPS? Do your adoptive parents know the truth, or just what your caseworker wanted them to know? Trust me I was wrongfully accused, but how can I prove other wise, when my caseworker has lied repeatedly, and when she is caught in a lie the judge retracts it for her? I have completed everything that was required of me and my caseworker had enough nerve to tell my children that the reason they can’t come home is because I didn’t do what I was told!!My children will know the truth, because I have all the paperwork to back my side up. We aren’t a bunch of child abusers complaining about our rights, we are loving, caring good parents who should have never lost our children. How dare you judge us when you don’t know all of the story. I was a foster child too, so I know all about the system.

Comment by Kandice Cantrell — April 4, 2008 @ 6:51 am

Cindy-

Your comment “and regards Cheryl” about missing an appointment. I have no idea where you got that from.

I never said any such thing. maybe someone elses comment was who you meant to address that to?????

I certainly wasn’t I.

Comment by Cheryl — April 4, 2008 @ 8:26 am

Never mind. I see we have another Cheryl——

Comment by Cheryl — April 4, 2008 @ 8:26 am

Cindy-

While you may have been actually abused, and I mean maybe, my grandkids were not!!!!! They were pulled because CPS did not feel a 3 bedroom 2 bath home was large enough to house a family of 6 on a limited income.

The house was sanitary, had heat and cooling and hot water. There was food on the table. And the parents worked the tales off to make sure it stayed that way WITHOUT ever having to apply for welfare!

SO is this what they get for making a life for their kids? CPS up the butt?

Now funny thing…IF they had gone on welfare, money they really were not entitled to, they would not have been accussed of “neglect”. Charges dismissed 15 months later!!

Welfare would have provided free housing, more money for food that would probably go to waste, and medical care, which was already being taken care of off one paycheck. They paid their own way thru life.

So excuse me for being proud that the parents choose to hold up their heads and work for everything they do have, even if CPS does not approve of it.

I also was a foster kid years ago. I can tell you from experience that over time from hearing only 1 side of the story, I relly believed that I was abused.

However as I grew up and opened my mind, I realized that what I thought was abuse, was reallly just my perspective on it. If I was grounded, I thought that was abuse. When I rebelled to get my own way in anything, I called that abuse.

Somehow, grewing older and looking back on it, I can now accept that none of it was parents abuse, but myselfr being selfish and using the system to get my own way.

As you grow older, you may come to realize that some of what happened was merely “good parenting” that you objected to because you wanted to run your own life.

Comment by Cheryl — April 4, 2008 @ 8:50 am

my child was taken because of “emotional abuse”…since you can’t take a child for emotional abuse i’m going to sue the pants off of d.c.f.s the c.s.w’ s the scw’s and the moo moo i mean the mom is the one who physically abused the child……….

Comment by jo — April 4, 2008 @ 9:22 am

Woah! I didn’t mean to start a war! I was just saying what had happened to me, and in regards to people asking if I had only gotten one side of the story, that is incorrect. I have seem both my casefile and talked to my biological mother, and I can still safely say that I have never been glader for CPS.

I am also not saying that everything CPS does is right, or that the system doesn’t need to be reformed because it most certainly does, but I also think that sometimes CPS does the right thing…

and to Cheryl, I have nothing against parents doing thier best, and I absolutely respect your family for doing the best that they could. I was in no way meaning any kind of disrespect. My comment about the missing doctors appointments is that things of that nature can be extreamely important, especially if there was more than one appointment missed. Rescheduling for reasons is one thing, but missing them is an entirely different matter.

And in regards to my situation being a case of ‘good parenting’ that I refused to admit, I was six months old and my back was used as a cigarette ashtray, I still have slight scars on almost all of my vertabrae…my biological mother was also pushed down the stairs by my sperm donar. If there was no CPS, I might be dead. Please do not assume to tell me what I went through was not abuse when you no absolutely nothing about what happened.

And again, didn’t mean to start an arguement, I was just stating what I think.

Comment by Cindy — April 4, 2008 @ 7:09 pm

When Social Services files for termination of parental rights it is important that you are represented by a lawyer in court. You need to make sure that the department did their jobs in trying to reunify you with your children. Social Services should have provided you with services for you and the children to improve the situation in which they first removed the children. Only a judge can terminate parental rights, you must do all you can to challenge the termination. On what grounds is social service trying to terminate your parental rights, how long have they been in foster care?

Comment by Kimberly Hampton — April 4, 2008 @ 7:10 pm

Jo-

Children can be removed for emotional abuse, however, emotional abuse is extremely hard to prove and there must be Physician documentation to substantiate the emotional abuse. There may have been other issues going on from which they based their removal. Can you give more details about your situation and I can better understand what CPS was thinking and can provide you with some answers and direction on how to deal with the system after your child’s removal. Children should always be removed as a last resort, it is unfortunate that emotional abuse would be the sole reason CPS removed a child. Did you have prior CPS history?

Comment by Kimberly Hampton — April 4, 2008 @ 7:15 pm

I had dealt with CPS and CPS Court for several years (2002-2006) due to being a victim of domestic violence and my child being witness to it.

CPS accused me of causing “emotional damage” or “may cause emotional damage to my child in the future” (they come up with such vague false accusations!) and I was going on Trial in CPS Court in 2004. I fought CPS to the bone and became my own attorney - knowledge is POWER!

CPS thought I would back down and accept their accusations and be forced to play their “Case Plan” game, but I refused! CPS canceled the Trial the night before it was to begin and I WON my case!

CPS was angry that I was strong and knew my rights. They continued to watch me and in 2006 they filed a “failure to protect” case against me because my husband was arrested for DV against me while I was at work (my child wasn’t even in the home - we had moved to a relatives home by then) and I ended up having to move my child and I into a domestic violence women’s shelter for 7 months to prevent CPS from taking custod7y of her! IT WAS HORRIBLE! I was forced to play their game - but I didn’t let them stomp me!

When my CPS case closed in 2007 I was hired as a Family Advocate and worked to help families stay together while dealing with CPS. I worked in the SAME office as the CPS Workers who brought cases against me! It was a GREAT experience.

I would like to offer any help I can give in support of parents going thru CPS Hell. It is very isolating and scary dealing with CPS.

Support Groups meet in these states:

AZ
IL
OR
NY
TX

To find where they meet go to California Website:

http://www.kidjacked.com

IL is actually not a support group, but is a site set up by lawyers who are class-actioning Illinois, possibly to the US Supreme Court.

Dupuy v Samuels

Further info: ( Illinois only)

http://www.familydefensecenter.org

For Illinois residents only who have been predated upon by DCFS. There is a cost to join this group around $15, but this site could help many in the US should this case by reviewed by USSC.

It concerns *safety plans* and how folks are coerced to sign these.

Comment by Fern — April 5, 2008 @ 4:49 am

CPS has ruined my family Cindy. My case is all based on hearsay, false allegations, and very flimsy neglect that would never hold up in a REAL court of law. We completed their ’service plan’, jumped thru all their stupid hoops, and my husband was regularly piss tested & they ALL were negative! they even made me go thru the humiliation of UAs when I have NEVER had a substance abuse problem. I totally agree that child abuse is a horrendous crime. The perpertrators need to rot in prison for the rest of thier miserable lives & have done to them what they have done to their victims!

Comment by Susan — April 5, 2008 @ 7:38 am

We have a 9 year old son with special needs - global developmental delays, severe speech delay, behavioral issues, etc. Along with the behavioral issues are episodes of self-injurious behavior - his Special Day Class teacher has expressed to us her concern regarding the self-injurious behavior (SIB) he has exhibited and she has witnessed at school. He has only been in that program since February 22nd, 2008. We have years of IEP’s that document our concerns and multiple behavior plans in place - some ideas worked, some haven’t. Unfortunately, he had an episode of SIB on Thursday, April 3 at home which caused some bruising on his face. We took him to school on Friday the 4th - that afternoon, I received a phone call from CPS saying that she was called by his school. When I explained to her how the bruises got there - she said to me, “I looked at him and those don’t look like they were self-inflicted”. We were never called by the teacher or principal regarding this ‘intervention’ and the CPS case manager even left her business card in the back pocket of my son’s jeans. We have been buzzing around this morning trying to get a hold of his pediatricians (primary and specialized) to see if they can look at him. My husband and I both feel like we had a pretty ‘open-book’ relationship with the SDC instructor and aides, and now feel that our relationship has been ‘contaminated’ and we are wondering what our rights are. The case manager has only spoken to me (although she tried visiting the house unannounced as she left her business card there) and intends on speaking to my husband and possibly our 7-year old daugther. Any advice would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.

Comment by Jennifer — April 5, 2008 @ 10:23 am

Jennifer:

So sorry for the situation you find yourself in. I am surprised that his SIB was not noted and addressed in his previous IEP’s.

I know many schools make children wear helmets, etc.

It is possible that there was a sub school nurse or a sub employee who felt they had to call. Not sure.

Remember, schools have a myraid of staff aside from classroom teachers. If he has an IEP he may be meeting with as many as 3-5 different personnel within the school day. Language spec., OT, PT etc.

Please remember that schools are often punished for not calling CPS.

It only takes 1 person to call—and the call COULD ( although this sounds like it is someone who is in contact with your son daily.) have come from anyone. CPS does NOT and will NOT tell you who made the call.

Does your school have a Parents Group who address or talk about SpED issues?

If so, I would make some discreet comments through them–and find out if this situation has been happening with other parents in your school district.

Anyone who has spent any time around seriously delayed children is familiar with self injury and in many cases, staff can be injured, bitten, kicked, too.

When cw comes, simply wait until you have read about your rights here or through other groups.

Just be polite, and do not engage in a lengthy conversation.

You are under NO obligation to call back until you know your parental rights in this situation.

I would refer you 2 other Website–

http://www.familyrights.us

and http://www,kidjacked.com

Family rights is packed with info. Their search engine is good. Take a look on the left side for Contents.

Do you live in any of these states?

AZ, OR, NY, TX, or Illinois. I just posted about weekly support group meetings held there.

Join these Message Boards. Others will give you help.

You need to register to join these Message Boards. You will need to give your state, too.

Best of luck with your son. BTW, the standard advice which folks dispense is NOT to send a child to school with bruises.

And we all know that folks bruise differently. I get huge black and blue hematomas when they miss my veins in blood draws.

Don’t worry. But read all the information and be prepared. Unfortunately, I do not like to say this, but CPS really does not want to help you or your family. They want to maintain their stats and keep their jobs.

Best. F.

Comment by Fern — April 5, 2008 @ 2:49 pm

I also have www.myspace.com/jodiehayeshatescps
there are alot of Anti-CPS people there.
It really helps to know you are not alone..

My grand baby was taken out of my home where my daughter was living due to false claims from ex boyfriend. We proved those false but CPS found their own reasons for taking her. They are wrong and deceitful and I am not sure how they sleep at night or how they expect to go to Heaven when they die.

I predict that after enough people in America get tired of CPS- Someone will take matters into their own hands. After all they ar terminating rights left and right- leaving behind a trail of broken hearts –those broken hearts will lash out and we will get the media attention we all want but for the wrong reason..

One person will be willing to sacrifice their live to help the rest. After all many believe there is nothing to live for after you take the most precious lives closest to a mothers heart! That day will come!!!

The twin towers will be nothing compared to the loss experienced by a Nation of helpless parents against our Government!!!

We ALL must fight IF we are to even think we can change the Future of families!

I do not think America is ready to hear that America is NOT FREE!! Most are too lazy and too compliant to do anything about it!

Im here my two boys were taken 11-28-07 for no apparente reason. Sure I have faulse accusations and my now ex husband caused alot. We have divorsed and a restraining order. I have busted to do what cps has wanted me to do to get my boys back. On March 13th cps told me I could have my boys back. Alls I needed to do now was wait for the juge to sign the order. Well cps let me have my boys for Easter. I took them back to the foster home. On Friday of the next week I calll to see if the judge signed the order and my caseworker told me we needed to talk. They told me they had 3 people see my ex husband at my house Easter weekend. So they took all my rights away except to visit for 2 hours at a time supervised. Cps also vialated my confedentuality act by telling my exs grandma everything, and taking my cell phone away from me and looking thew it. im back to square one. They are talking to terminate my prental rights or open adoption. i dont know what to do from here.

Fern:

Thank you for your words of encouragement and links to get some information

His SIB is documented in EVERY IEP he has had. In fact, I just went through my binder last night and highlighted and marked all the pages that make reference to his SIB - types of, anticedents that set it off, etc., so that should CPS ask for some sort of documentation I would be ready. (BTW - we’re in CA)

Unfortunatley, we have already become a thorn in the side to the district as we just met with them (same day as CPS intervention) with regard to getting our son a different behaviorist (obviously, her methodologies aren’t working - hence the increase in the SIB) so I’m concerned that this may just complicate things.

Thank you for the reference to the website for the parents’ rights - that is our biggest question right now - what do we say? How to we prepare our 7-year old?

I am most concerned right now on going forward, how I’m supposed to carry on an amicable relationship with the staff when I’m under a microscope like this? Again - we were an open book to their staff - very communicative and engaging. We’re not one of these parents that just drop off their kid at school as a source of respite.

Thank you again -
Jennifer

Jami, ask for an emergency court hearing. If CPS claims that three people said they saw your ex-husband at your home when your children were there, then if you have a show cause hearing or an emergency hearing then they would have to subpena those people to court to testify to that statement. That will serve two purposes, you can then confront the person who made the statements and challenge them. Or those statements were never made. Also, ask to see the CPS records regarding your case. That must be done in a courtroom.

Kimberly Hampton:

At any point will I be allowed access to the CPS records regarding my son’s case? I would like a copy for my own record since there has been on-going resistance from the school district to provide a different behaviorist for our son. How would I go about getting a copy? How do I know that they have closed or dismissed the case?

Since there is documentation in our son’s cummulative file at the district - I have the parent copies - (IEP’s, Positive Behavior Plans, Progress Reports, etc.) that there is a clear problem with SIB with our son’s behavior issue, will they ask for those documents before proceeding with interviewing our 7-year old? I advised the CW that I would sign a release so she would be able to review those docs. (Maybe I offered too much by doing that?) I also have scheduled a Dr.’s appt. with his primary pediatrician to look at the bruising. If the Doc writes a statement that supports my case, do I ‘volunteer’ this document to the CW or wait until she asks for it? How can I request that she review school/medical documentation supporting evidence of SIB before she proceeds with any more interviewing?

My mind is running a mile a minute - any advise you can provide would be appreciated.

Jennifer:

Somehow, I suspect the behaviorist.

Is this person a masters degreed certified ABA specialist?

Some school districts hire just anyone, but since you used the term “behaviorist”, I assume you are speaking of someone with some training and experience.

A B.A. degree alone does not cut it. Behaviorists need intensive experience with children with extreme acting out behavior. Even a classroom teacher is not sufficient.

How many behaviorists does your school district have on staff? Sounds like there are others.

No big deal to switch. Parents ask for kids to be switched from classrooms all the time.

What state?

I would not volunteer anything. And most folks here would caution and warn you against letting CPS review any medical records. His school records are private.

Listen to the cw. Do not attempt to give them any more information than necessary. You are innocent until proven guilty.

The more information you provide, the better their chances of messing up.

In some states, cw’s need not have a college degree. Often, these are 6 week wonders.

Jennifer, traditionally the oppressed have resisted. The middle class has no experience with this intrusion or the depth of it.

Think Divorce Court. Think what happens when Government attempts to run families. See how many folks are pleased with family court.

Unfortunately, with CPS they have a lower reputation than Family Court. In Washington state, DSHS is the most sued agency of the government.

Now you will understand why.

Hope your son improves. Hope his day can be brighter. I wish everyone could understand just how difficult it is to parent a child who is not born *perfect.*

Please try to get in touch with the parents group in your district. A little *gossip* about staff does not hurt, and may illuminate your problem.

And yes, many parents have extreme difficulties with Sp Ed. It costs the schools mucho bucks. But now you do not need an atty to sue S.D., in Federal Court on behalf of your child.

Good luck, Get back to us. And register on Message Boards. There are folks to help.

Comment by Fern — April 7, 2008 @ 5:58 am

I think this website is misguided and misinformed. How many more children are killed by abusive parents than foster parents? Just last week, one of the kids I take care of lost her friend due to his father’s abuse. A child’s death is something to be mourned, not something that should be turned into propaganda. This fact is just ridiculous. It is our God given right to have children, not to abuse them, or to drink while taking care of them, or to do drugs while they around or in utero. I firmly stand behind CPS and their choice to take kids from parents, it’s not about ripping families apart, its about protecting children from their already abusive family. Stop the abuse and that will stop the fostering of children.

Comment by Stephanie — April 7, 2008 @ 8:12 am

Gee Stephanie, what about parents that fit none of that criteria whose children were snatched? Ever think about that one. Yup, it does happen! I’m the example. Read my posts. If you have any shread of a conscience,you will have EMPATHY for the parents who are FALSELY ACCUSED. I totally agree that children should NEVER be abused at all, but CPS is a greater child predator to kids than a random stranger. They profit from pimping out children from loving 2 parent families such as my own. All for the almighty dollar. MY CHILDREN ARE NOT FOR SALE!

April 07, 2008
My name is Elizabeth Gomez, I am the mother of Emily M. Gomez (9/29/00), Nevaeh E. Gomez (10/25/03) and Abigail D. Lamotte (5/20/05). I am writing this letter to request for my Case to be heard by a Judge for the following reasons:
My story is the following: (Copy of my Complaint Letter: Briefly)
My case with DCFS was opened on May 3, 2007. A CSW arrived at my home and informed me that a report had been made to the child abuse hotline by an annonymous caller who alleged that I was using ilegal drugs and abusing my children.
The Detention Hearing was held on May 16, 2007. The Referee ordered for my children to remain released and remain with me.
Mediation was on June 21, 2007. On that day the Mediator informed me that there were no allegations against me because they were “unfound”, she also informed me of the “new” allegations that were “found” and “sustained” against John Lamotte. Mr. Lamotte is the father of Abigail (5/20/05). Mr. Lamotte and I had been separated since September of 2006 due to Domestic Violence (I was the victim) and I had a restraining ordered against him issued in April of 2007. Mr. Lamotte was to begin having monitored visits, to which he did not agree and decided to take it to trial. I was informed by the Mediator that the trial hearing was scheduled for July 2007, in addition, she told me that I did not have to be present because there were no allegations against me.
On June 22, 2007, another hearing was held but I don’t know what happened on that day. “Court finds report was received from DCFS”. (Jurisdiction/Disposition Report?)
On June 29, 2007, I was arrested for “possession of fraudulent documents” and my children were Physically Detained with no court order, and without informing me. My children were placed in a foster home without making any effort to contact their grandmothers.
On July 5, 2007, (Orig. Hearing: ADJ, Actual Hearing: ADJ, Petition File DT: 07/05/07) Changes were made including but not limited to 385 WIC Petition Hearing was held, First Amended Petition was Filed, Petition Filed on 05/16/07 was Dismissed, My children were ordered: Detained, and Children ordered detained in: Shelter Care. I was not served with a Notice of the Hearing, nor was my Removal Order from County Jail submitted. Therefore, I was not present at the Hearing. It should be noted that a couple of days later, I was informed of the hearing by one of the family members involved in the case. “The Court states that it has read and considered the DCFS report dated: 07/05/07″. (Detention Report?)
The reports from DCFS “Jurisdiction/Disposition Report” (Children remained with me) dated 6/21/2007 and the “Detention Report” (Children had already been placed in a Foster Home) dated 07/05/07, state the complete opposite of one another. However, the Detention Report was all the evidence that the Referee had when she ordered for my children to be detained and placed in Shelter Care.
On July 10, 2007, my Removal Order from County Jail was submitted and I was present in Court for the Adjudication Hearing. I was not informed of any changes nor was I informed of the “new” allegations against me. The Referee did not read out the Petition to me, and “the Court found Good Cause to Continue the Adjudication to 7/18/07″. “Mother and Fathers are ordered back to court on 7/18/07 without further Order, Notice or Subpoena. The Court did not Order for my Removal from County Jail and I was not present for the following Court Hearing.
On July 18, 2007, I was not present for the Hearing and neither was my Court appointed Attorney Dennis Smeal. I am not sure of what exactly happened on this day and I was not provided with a copy of the report from DCFS. It should be noted that Melanie Pellerin, Dependency Investigator CSWII, did not serve me with the Notice of the Hearing as stated and signed by her on the “Proof of Service” letter. (7/18/07 at 3:00pm, Personal Service).
On July 25, 2007, I was present for the Hearing and was informed by my Attorney that we were there for a trial hearing, however, he did not inform me of the changes in my case. After waiting for almost two hours, my Attorney approaches me and informs me that “Mr. Lamotte had decided that he did not want to take it to trial after all because he did not want to waste time” instead “he was willing to waive his rights to fight the allegations and just worry about getting the children out of the foster home”. My Attorney “adviced” me that “it was the best thing for me to do as well, just sign and waive my rights and concentrate on getting the children returned to me”. I took my Attorney’s “Advice” and waived my rights. However, I did not find out until 2 months later that I had actually “admitted” to the allegations against me.
On August 15, 2007, my 4 year old child was separated from her sisters and placed with her father without my approval. I did not agree with this decision and was told by the CSW and my court-appointed attorney that I had “no say” to where my children should be placed. I later discovered that I should have been given the opportunity to come to an agreement through Mediation. I also discovered that I did have my Parental Rights. Please read Letter from Parole Officer of Joe Perez, who is the father of Nevaeh, this letter is attached to the “Addendum Report” and should be in the Court File. If your Honor would prefer for me to submit a copy of this report, I will do so immediately.
On December 26, 2007, I mailed (certified) a written request to the Referee to change my court appointed attorney because of “wrong advice” and I attached a copy of his “professional background” and a copy of my complaint form to the CA State Bar. About 2 weeks later I received a voicemail message from my Attorney telling me “I must have had a bad Christmas and that I shouldn’t be writing letters like that to anyone”.
The 6 months review Hearing was held on January 23, 2008. I did not agree with the Recommendation from DCFS and I decided to take it to trial. Trial was scheduled for March 14, 2008. I was the only parent who had completed the Parenting classes, I showed proof that I had been drug testing for two different labs, all my test results are Negative, I had proof that I am currently supporting my mother (relative caretaker) and my children and I was the only parent who had constant visits with my children when they were placed in the foster home.
On March 14, 2008, I was present in Court, however, Referee Truong was out sick on this day so the matter was continued to April 3, 2008.
At this point. I don’t feel like anything that I have provided the Court has been taken into consideration. In addition, several court orders have not been followed by the other parents and/or DCFS and still the Court continues to consider DCFS reports and recommendations. I would also like to inform your Honor that the last two Reports from DCFS that have been submitted to the Court are inaccurate and state false information.
I can respectfully provide the supporting evidence, proof and/or witnesses that I have available. In addition, a lot of the information should also be in the court file.
NOTE: Last minute information: The Trial Court Hearing held yesterday 4/03/08 was once again continued to May 21, 2008. DCFS recommended that I start “Monitored Visits” again, however, my children’s Attorney did not agree with that recommendation and asked the court that the visitations remain the same. I had filed a Petition 388 and the Referee decided that my Petition and the Trial hearing would be heard together (two in one). In addition, I finally met the new CSW who is handeling my case, I had a face to face contact with her at the Wilshire Office, she did inform me that the CSW and SCSW that referred me to Family Preservation Services in 12/05/07, had made a mistake in providing me with those services and that she would make sure to correct it and terminate my Family Preservation Services.
Thank you for your time.

Comment by William Gleason — April 7, 2008 @ 4:32 pm

For all of you who are ‘pro CPS’ know this; a CPS worker has more police powers than a trained officer. That means that CPS case workers can take children out of a home based on their ‘opinion’ of the situation without ever having had the proper training to make such decisions.

Yes, our children DO need to be protected from abusive parents, NOT ONE PERSON ON THIS SITE DISPUTES THAT. However, every single day, every hour, a child is ripped away from it’s parent(s) with little or no evidence of child abuse OR strictly based on hearsay.

CPS is needed BUT, it as an entire entity and each individual within the system, needs to be held accountable for every action they take whether positive or negative. Currently, individuals and the entity are ‘protected’ due to the law that prohibits open cases where a juvenile is involved. This means that CPS workers can ‘fudge’ or ‘botch’ documents, statements and other legal documents. They can conveniently ‘leave out’ crucial information which just may throw your case out and cause it to be closed. There is no one checking the accuracy or the validity of CPS case workers.

With that said, there ARE Angels within the system and we have one right here on this site offering help and advice to those who ask. It’s just a shame that CPS has become such a monster because it started out as a real, honest organization who’s only intent was to help abused children. Now, unfortunately CPS is mostly an empire to make money and gain power.

We must all work together to get government officials to do something about this out-of-control monster known as CPS and to reorganize and revamp the entity back into what it started out as….Money and power cannot be the motivation of CPS.

Thank you to all of the CPS case workers who genuinely care and truly wish to help families. Let’s work together to make sure that EVERY CPS case worker is just as caring and genuine an not in the system for power!

In corrupt Fremont County, Colorado, I have not met ONE decent caseworker. The intake caseworker is a childless heartless freak who had it in for my family from the get-go just because I made the mistake of cursing her & her department! She then assumed that ‘there might be abuse’ & convinced the lesbian judge to destroy my children by sending them to live with lesbians. YES my story is totally true & I do have every bit of documentation if I can ever get decent representation, though probably not in this state.

Comment by Susan — April 7, 2008 @ 7:59 pm

The governmental agency has a price tag on every child’ head, and the state makes profits from the federal government to steal your children, then adopt them out. Child Protection Services will lie and commit perjury, as the judges do not honor their oath to validate a probable cause is needed with factual evidence to remove your children. The Indiana State Adoption Specialist, Stephanie Beasley-Fehrman, told us she was the regional case manager, but she lied.

But Stephanie is not aware of her title, as the State Adoption Specialist, as she addressed herself as the Regional Case Manager for Child Protection Services, 4/22/05, in the meeting of 5 adult family members and the then Marion County Director, Dan Carmin. The lies of DCS to family, children, the public, and the media is real, and many children are dying under state care without justice, as DCS workers are allowed to be immune for their neglect and failure to protect. Billions of tax dollars are supporting the crimes against families and children, in Indiana.

Many states will do anything to steal your child, as profits of federal re-imbursements and incentives are given. Child Protection I un-contitutional, and parents must start filing law suits to make DCS, CPS accountable. This governmental agency lies and many children die under state care, never reported. Human trafficking business, as facade to protection.

Pursuant to:

Troxel v. Granville where ALL parents are presumed fit, competent and lack no defect.

Koshko v. Haining it is unconstitutional for a judge to usurp “parental discretion” absent the requisite proof of parental unfitness

Deprivation of Rights under the Color of Law
Violation of Civil Rights under 42 U.S.C.*1983
State law cannot provide immunity from suit for Federal Civil Rights violations. State law providing immunity from suit for child abuse investigators has no application to suits under *1983. Wallis v. Spencer, (9th Cir. 1999)

Social workers and all other governmental employees may be sued for deprivation of civil rights under 42 U.S.C. *1983, if they are named in their official and individual capacity. Hafer v. Melo, (S.Ct.1991), as DCS used malicious intentions and all other governmental officials’ who either refused or failed to respond to the multitude of reported violations of DCS.

Social workers are not immune for coercing or seizing a child from the parent without a warrant. Calabretta v. Floyd (9th Cir. 1999)
Persons may not be seized without a court order or being placed under arrest.

Children may not be removed from their home or seized from their parent by social workers/DCS, without notice and a hearing unless the officials have a reasonable belief that the child is in ‘imminent danger’, defined as loss of life or limb.

Immunity is defeated if the official took the complained of action with malicious intention to cause a deprivation of rights, or the official violated clearly established statutory or constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known. McCord v. Maggio, (5th Cir. 1991)

Indiana allows state workers to make false and bogus documentation and court proceedings fabricated by DCS and their affiliates, with willful and malicious actions of DCS’ coercion, threats, and denial of civil & constitutional rights afforded to all US citizens, as Cynthia Blue, DCS worker, willingly and maliciously used coercion for SS to be walked out of the hospital & never see her baby again, forced SS to sign a CHINS and legal document for Methodist Hospital, “Waiver for Second Opinion”. Though SS made many pleads to speak to her parents, asked for legal assistance, and asked for her own pediatrician, Cynthia Blue, took actions with malicious intention to cause a deprivation of rights, and violated established statutory and constitutional rights of which a reasonable person would have known. McCord v. Maggio, (5th Cir. 1991). As well, as the blatant bogus falsification of court documentation, seizing a child without probable cause or valid evidence, and violation of Civil and Constitutional Rights, Cynthia Blue again violated with great intent to cause harm. Not only did she seize BS from SS by false hearsay, but she failed to have a probable cause or court order to justify her actions. No notification or investigation was performed as Cynthia Blue failed to provide factual evidence that BS was in imminent danger. Or the fact the BS had been in the care of the ‘alleged father’ for over 24 hours before seen by any medical professional. Therefore, Cynthia Blue many not simply claim or assert the defense of qualified immunity based on good faith, since a reasonably competent public official should know the law governing his or her conduct. Harlow v. Fitzgerald, 457 U.S. 800, 818 (1982). Every governmental agency and other affiliates noted above had been given documentation of the crimes committed against both civil and constitutional rights of both BS and SS, and the slanderous and libelous use of RS, while ignoring the cries for help against the vicious attacks of DCS to withhold BS from SS without any probable cause. Therefore, since all agencies can be proven to have been notified and plead with for help of such horrific criminal actions of a state worker, but yet failed to perform their own duties regarding the complaints, any and all state employees who allowed and failed to act after being given the information that a child was being withheld from her family, become by proxy, negligent, as the child seized without justice cause is an infringement on the family’ liberty of familial association. K.H. through Murphy v. Morgan (7th Cir. 1990). None of the above named defendants can claim immunity for such aggravated and malicious actions that have occurred, as they are not entitled to absolute immunity for pleadings filed to obtain an order and assisting in the use of information known to be false to further an investigation, or the use of deception to judicial officers to obtain a custody order or deliberately or recklessly incorporate known falsehoods into their reports. The use of information known to be false is not reasonable, and acts of deliberate falsity or reckless disregard of the truth are not entitled to qualified immunity. Snell v. Tunnel, (10 Cir. 1990). All governmental agencies were notified in writing of the unlawful actions to no avail.

Cynthia Blue, DCS worker, violated SS rights to have her own doctor, used coercion and threats to sign a CHINS and legal document for Methodist Hospital for ‘Waiver of Second Opinion”, violated SS HIPPA rights, violated SS right to speak to a judge, willing seized SS infant, BS, for continued administration of medications without honoring the request for SS own doctor, and failure to obtain a warrant or probable cause, as there were no emergency or exigent circumstances valid. Cynthia Blue, willing violated the civil rights of the 4th, 6th and 14 Amendment rights and fabricated false charges without evidence, as described below. Social workers are not immune for coercing or seizing children from the parent without a warrant. Calabretta v. Floyd (9th Cir. 1999).
Civil Rights violation under *1983 and conspiracy against rights covered under *1985 as Cynthia Blue and Andrea Goodwin, DCS documented they had founded substantiation that SS refused medical care of BS, of which is unfounded and not true. All medical lab reports revealed there was no such cause for the administration of a highly toxic medication to be administered to the 5 day old infant, BS. Statutory violations of IC 35-45-3-4 (Inference with custody of minor child),
Cynthia Blue and Methodist Hospital , Beth Barron, MD, together violated HIPPA, as Beth Barron, MD, and other Methodist Hospital staff willingly allowed Cynthia Blue access to BS records without SS permission, and SS was threatened by Cynthia Blue to never see her child again if she refused to sign forced upon documents, or told anyone what was happening. Amendment rights 1st 4th, and 5th, 6th, 14th, were violated, and information regarding BS was given out to others without signed consent by SS, violating the patient’ right to privacy, HIPPA.
Cynthia Blue forced maternal grandparents, RS & SRS, from the hospital with threats to remain quiet or never see the child again. SS rights were violated to have needed family support during the hospitalization of her first newborn, as Parent interest is of “the highest order”, ‘the vital importance of curing overzealous suspicion and intervention of the part of health care professionals and
government officials. Thomason v. Scan Volunteer Services, Inc. (8th Cir. 1996)
Cynthia Blue did not obtain a probable cause or court order, nor did she allow SS the right for due process. Removing SS’ rights to have the request honored for BS to be treated at a different hospital and personal doctor, and placing BS under state custody by use of coercion, threats, and force, the seizure of BS was unconstitutional and all documentation regarding the placement of BS under state custody were knowingly false information and violated SS’ 4th Amendment rights. Since BS was clearly not in immediate jeopardy and the intrusion of Cynthia Blue’ actions were not necessary, as the absence of exigent circumstances does not allow her actions to be seen as immune from her willingness to violate the rights of SS, as there were no valid evidence to support probable cause. (Hurlman V. Rice, 2nd Cir. 1991). At no time did Cynthia Blue listen as SS commented many times regarding her request for her own doctor, as Cynthia Blue only took the word and hearsay of hearsay of hospital staff and (fired) doctor that medical treatment was being denied for BS. Cynthia Blue willingly and knowingly violated the civil and constitutional rights of SS, which such actions caused great emotional distress, noted as intentional infliction of emotional distress.

On December 2, 2004, SS was discharged from Methodist Hospital with BS, her precious baby daughter. When SS’ parents came to bring SS and BS home, SS’ mother noticed BS was symptomatic of dehydration due to the decrease of urine output, lethargic, lips very dry, not breast feeding as she should, and her bilirubin was above 13. (Mother, RS, by profession is a BSN, Registered Nurse, who worked on a Pediatric Unit for four years). The discharging nurse was requested to inform the physician of BS’ appearance of poor hydration, low urine output, drowsiness, and not nursing well, but the nurse on duty didn’t think anything was wrong, and ignored the request. BS was sent home with a bili-blanket and orders to return to the clinic the following day, 12/3/05, in order to obtain a blood test to follow up with the bilirubin value. SS was total custodial parent of BS, as the man, who later, forcibly claimed to be the father, refused to have his name placed on the birth certification at the time of BS’ birth. Therefore, at this given time, the infant was with one parent, that being SS, the mother.

On December 3, 2004, as ordered, SS was scheduled to take the baby to the clinic for a blood test for BS to see if her bili had decreased, but it had increased to a dangerous level rising.. Therefore, SS was told to get the baby back to the hospital, SS did so as quickly as possible.

On December 5, 2004, SS called her mom, RS, to ask for help at Methodist Hospital , because she didn’t understand why the doctor was giving her baby very toxic medication. SS’ mom & dad went to the hospital at her request. The doctor had phoned into the room, Dr. Beth Barron, and stated that SS had no choice to have a second opinion, and she, the doctor, would not allow her to see another doctor, not even Dr. P, Pediatrician, that Sarah knew very well, and trusted. Knowing that patient’s have rights to chose a doctor, Dr. Beth Barron was reminded that a patient has the right to chose a doctor, and that Dr. P’s emergency line had given the order that Dr. P would accept BS’s care, but must be brought to Wishard Hospital, because, Dr. P does not practice at Methodist. **Please, note, SS was NOT refusing treatment for BS nor placing her in danger, she asked to be seen for continued treatment by Dr. P, who she trusted very well and was very well aware of his quality of care. Dr. Barron stated that she didn’t even know BS had just been born there at Methodist, and just released less than 24 hours prior. When Beth Barron, MD, was asked what her rationale was for giving such toxic medication to the baby, she could not answer. SS’ mom, RS, did not see any signs or symptoms of nothing more than dehydration and jaundice, which is not abnormal for newborns, breast feeding babies. Though not a doctor, and no claim or desire to be one, SS’ mother, RS became concerned as Beth Barron, MD, was ignoring SS’ questions for reasons of what was being given to BS and lack of being able to explain the rationale for the ordered plan of care. Every lab test, every culture was NEGATIVE. This was not alarming, since the BS had no signs and symptoms of anything to warrant the toxic drugs. SS asked several times to have her own doctor take over the care of BS, but was refused. When SS told Dr. Beth Barron she was fired and that SS knew she had rights to choose her own doctor, Beth Barron, MD, requested the social worker, James Gregory, to place a call to DCS, with allegation that SS is refusing medical treatment to BS. The last interaction SS had with Beth Barron, MD, Sarah was lead to believe that Beth Barron, MD, was making preparation of the orders to transfer of BS to Wishard, in order to be placed under the care of Dr. P. However, Cynthia Blue stormed into the room, demanded SS to go with her, and as two security men stood by the closed door where she was take, SS asked to go back to her room to get the number to our family attorney, but was told that if she walked out the door of that room, she would never see her baby again, and the two security men would escort her out of the hospital without her baby. SS was then threatened and forced to sign the CHINS paper, and a Methodist Hospital legal document stating that Sarah waivers a second opinion. Cynthia Blue then peeked into the hospital room, pointed at SS’ mom and dad, and told that we are to leave, and if we returned to visit SS or if we told anyone what was going on, we would never see BS again. As SS’ mom picked up the phone to call 911, someone at the nurses’ station also picked up on that room line, to stop the call. SS was refused to talk to the patient advocate as well. This was witnessed by both SRS and RS, parents of SS. Cynthia Blue later stated to SS that she would be able to tell the Judge what was going on at 930 am on Tuesday, December 7, 2004. SS then had to go to the emergency room for increased overwhelming anxiety, vomit, and malaise, secondary to the severity of violation of her civil and constitutional rights.

On December 7, 2004, SS received a phone call from Cynthia Blue that she did not have to go to court, so the social worker at Methodist Hospital had been instructed to bring a release of CHINS to SS for her to sign. Attorney T M had made calls to the Juvenile Courts, in order to validate a time for SS to be seen in court, however, there were no such filings or notations regarding this issue on the docket, or any such notation of Cynthia Blue’ actions reported on file. There was never a court order given to remove custodial rights from SS or a probable cause granting a court order to deny SS the right for her own doctor to continue medical treatment of BS. Cynthia Blue unlawfully used her position and knew she could not establish probable cause, as parents have the right to choose their own doctor for the treatment of their children. The social worker of Methodist Hospital , Erica Short. LSW, never presented SS papers to sign. The toxic medications continued to be administered as the hospital claimed they could not reach DCS to report the labs and cultures were negative, and therefore the medications could be discontinued.

On December 9, 2004, after being held hostage with BS receiving toxic medication not recommended for any child under the age of 9 months, and at an over dosed rate, for no clinical medical reason, refused of family support, held against SS’ will, denied the right to have her choice of her own doctor, both SS & BS were allowed to come home. The toxic overdosed medications were continued to be given, though it was clearly noted that all labs and culture were negative, but the social workers could not reach DCS to obtain consent to stop the medication. The admission diagnosis documented was, “Dehydration & Jaundice”. The discharging diagnosis documented on December 9, 2004, was “Dehydration & Jaundice”. This diagnosis did not support the use of toxic medications that has been noted to cause high rate of incidents of damage to the liver, kidneys, and heart, and not be administered unless there is no other alternative. This medication was given without cause, forced administration against the right of the parent, SS, to have her own doctor give his professional insight of necessity of the administration of a very toxic and known to cause harm with its’ use. Both of SS’ parents witnessed this deliberate falsehoods of lies, coercion, threats, violation of all rights a person has, and the reckless disregard concerning the welfare of the infant, and horrific malicious treatment given to the mother, SS. Cynthia Blue violated SS’ right to a meaningful access to court or prompt hearing regarding her right to procedural due process as the intentional use of claiming SS was refusing medical treatment of BS, rather than taking note of SS’ right to have her own doctor, was fraudulent use of governmental influence and position and SS was denied fundamentally fair procedures before having BS placed under state care for the purpose of Methodist Hospital and Dr. Beth Barron to continue the medical treatment without honoring SS’ request for Dr. P. As the above stated, no court order, no court proceedings, and no probable cause hearing, DCS claimed they unjustly substantiated the false claim of refusing medical treatment of BS.

No further inquiries by the courts, DCS, or the hospital were made. However, many complaints regarding the violations of both the hospital and DCS were filed, to no avail.
Later, as it is schemed,
Cynthia Blue, DCS, willingly, knowingly, and maliciously, committed perjury, falsification of court documents, and without notice, handed BS to a man, not known as the father of the child on 4/09/05, then called SS to come to office and told what was done with her baby on 4/10/05, which was 24 hour after the fact, and by using coercion, threats and accusations to never see her baby again if SS refused to sign a CHINS paper, forced SS to sign. Children may not be removed from their home or seized from their parent by social workers/DCS, without notice and a hearing unless the officials have a reasonable belief that the child is in ‘imminent danger’, defined as loss of life or limb. Cynthia Blue, per the medical report of St. Francis Hospital South Campus, had the medical assessment of Dr. Michael Brown in her possession, given to her by the accuser, ‘alleged father’, that the BS was noted “no evidence of molestation, …. BS was a happy and healthy baby and may return home”. Without performing any required and necessary requisite evaluations to support her ‘fictional’ allegations, Cynthia Blue placed BS into the care of alleged father, who had no legal rights or court validation as the ‘father’, and the same man that SS left with BS, in order to gain safety, as revealed by multiple 911 calls. Cynthia Blue can not claim immunity for coercing or seizing BS from SS, as no warrant was obtained, and there were no evidence of imminent danger of loss of life or limb, and no probable cause. The alleged father asked for Cynthia Blue, hearsay and false allegations stated, no investigation was done, as Cynthia Blue did not leave her desk. SS was accused, tried, and found guilty by Cynthia Blue, without any inquiry but the hearsay statements of a man, who has chronic and acute drug abuse issues, with long history of court documented psychoses of Bi-Polar, Manic-Depression, Poly-substance abuse, and self-mutilation. SS made the decision to ‘Shatter the Silence” and remove herself and her baby from abuse, but the actions of Cynthia Blue, seizing BS and handing BS to the very man who was abusing SS, expresses the actions of Cynthia Blue was done with much disregard of investigating the facts behind the issues of allegations given by the alleged father, and claimed SS guilty without due process. No state worker may interfere in child rearing decisions when a fit parent is available. Cynthia Blue, DCS, on 4/12/05, during a phone conversation with SS, made threats, accusations, and threatened that SS “had no rights, she was not going to get her baby back, and that SS had opened a can of worms to big to fit into her mouth, and not to tell the judge anything regarding the man’ drug use and abuse”. (A recording of this phone conversation was turned over to the Marion County Prosecutor’ Office, Carl Brizzi’s Office, Marion County Division Director of CPS Dan Carmin & Stephanie Beasley-Fehrman, who lied as the Regional Case Manager, but really the state Adoption Specialist & Director of Indiana Department of Children Services, James Payne).
Cynthia Blue, DCS, willing, knowingly, and maliciously, falsely reported information to the judge that SS was homeless, BS was molested, and SS was on drugs, while under oath on 4/13/05. In attempt to justify the Petition Alleging A Child in Need of Services, Cynthia Blue, in apparent retribution and retaliation for the ‘no true finding’ of SS, at Methodist Hospital in December 2004, Cynthia Blue testified there was a ‘true’ finding of medical neglect. Furthermore, Cynthia Blue sought to have BS placed in what she alleged was ‘relative’ care, without any judicial evidence of the man she gave BS to, as having any such claim, Cynthia Blue, willing and knowingly, made false statements and documentation of false material with resulted with unconstitutional seizure of BS from SS, which placed Cynthia Blue liable personally for her actions under *1983. Aponte Matos v. Toledo Davilla, (1st Cir. 1998). Moreover, Cynthia Blue wrote slanderous and libelous statements under the name of RS, (plaintiff), and did not obtain or inquire about any documented statements used in Cynthia Blue’ testimony and probable cause statement to the judge. The obvious malicious intent towards SS is clearly evident on the report written by Andrea Goodwin, Cynthia Blue’ supervisor, dated 6/29/05, sent via mail sent to the Staton Family, received on 7/05/05, who documented knowledge that both medical statements revealed the infant was not molested, assessments done 4/09/05 at St. Francis South Campus and 4/11/05 at Center of Hope, Wishard Hospital, that SS was known to not be homeless on 4/12/05, and there were no drug finds regarding SS. Andrea Goodwin continued that the DCS case is closed effect on 4/14/05, but yet the case was “substantiated”. (No truth of the allegations, but DCS, or Dept of Children can commit perjury and falsification of court documents, as they have no over sight or responsibility). Documentation of Andrea Goodwin, also testified in her report, that it was well known before Cynthia Blue entered into court documents on 4/13/05 to seize & seek a valid probable cause for court order for seizure of BS from SS, that the testimony given to the judge under oath verbally and by Cynthia Blue’s own written probable cause statements, on 4/13/05, she willing, knowingly, and deliberately, lied, committed perjury, and deprived both BS and SS their civil rights with malicious intention to cause harm. Cynthia Blue knew before the first court date on 4/13/05, that the allegations made were unjust, and this was documented by her own supervisor that none of the allegations were founded on 4/12/05. Under the violation of Civil Rights of SS, BS was taken to be seen by physicians without SS’ knowledge or consent, violating Parent interest is of “the highest order”, ‘the vital importance of curing overzealous suspicion and intervention of the part of health care professionals and government officials. Thomason v. Scan Volunteer Services, Inc. (8th Cir. 1996)
SS attempted to explain Honorable Judge, Jansen, that the man not only made false accusations, but she had to leave the relationship with him, as he was abusive, on drugs, and that she feared he would abuse her infant. Though SS attempted with extreme efforts to express the severe emotional distress of BS under the ‘relative’ care that had traumatized SS many times, the drug use, the criminal activity, and psychosis of Bi-polar, Manic-Depressive, and Poly-substance abuse, SS effort were ignored. Honorable Judge, Jansen, inquired for man to take both a drug & paternity test, but the man refused. Cynthia Blue continued to recommend this man, to have the infant. The court failed to protect the constitutional rights of SS as DCS failed to prove with the requisite proof of parental unfitness in order to substitute SS’ best interest decisions with that of the state and allowed governmental inference of the decision to leave an abusive relationship with the man SS feared would harm herself and her infant, of which was the person who made the false allegations. The court also made itself the hearer and trier of the allegations and unlawfully imposed its will into the judicial process by becoming the driving force of the violations of due process. Honorable Judge, Jansen, as a whole abdicated constitutional duties as the trier and hearer of the false allegations by issuing a court order without evidence that SS was unfit to remain the custodian for SS’ own child, BS. By allowing hearsay without supportive evidence, the court automatically denied SS of due process by issuing the automatic court order by allowing hearsay from DCS to support the order without any evidence, leading to the constitutional and civil right violations of both SS and BS, as the court automatically denied SS due process. As forced separation of parent and child, seriously infringed upon the rights of both, done so by the fraudulence of DCS, which is a violation of constitutional rights. JB v. Washington County (10th Cir. 1997), much emotional distress was suffered by SS, RS, SRS, BS.
Our family attempted to gain access to the open door policy of Governor, Mitch Daniels, on 4/13/05, but he was not available, nor was the open door ever built. A phone conversation was obtained with Scott Zarazee as well as an email for more information to be sent, which was. We were able on this date to able to speak face to face with James Payne. James Payne was notified of the perjury, falsification of court documents of his staff, Juvenile Court’ lack of maintaining a high standard of judicial performance with particular emphasis upon conducting litigation with scrupulous fairness and impartiality, Pfizer v. Lord, 456 F.2d 532: cert denied 92S Ct 2411: US Ct App MN, (1972), and failed to have the responsibility to respect and protect persons from violations of federal constitutional rights. Gross v State of Illinois , 312 F 2d 257: (1963).
Andrea Goodwin, DCS, refused medical treatment of the infant, on 4/14/05, when the infant was noted by our family during visitation with BS, at the DCS office, 4150 North Keystone Avenue, to be beaten, under the care of ‘alleged father’/relative care. Our family begged to take pictures of the injuries and for BS to be taken to the hospital, but were threatened to stop talking about the beaten body of the BS, or the visitation was over and not permitted again. Andrea Goodwin willing and knowingly violated her own professional obligation as noted in IC 31-33-5 Chapter 5, Duty to report child abuse or neglect, IC 31-33-5-1 Duty to make report Sec. 1. In addition to any other duty to report arising under this article, an individual who has reason to believe that a child is a victim of child abuse or neglect shall make a report as required by this article. (As added by P.L. 1-1997 SEC. 16)The injuries noted were dark green bruising from eye to eye, across the bridge of nose, severe nearly bleeding diaper rash, reddish blue bruising to the inner joint of right pinkie finger, markings of left arm circular pattern, serve scratches throughout the surface of right arm and legs, and extreme concave impression of left occipital skull, with noted reddened areas of scalp. Furthermore, Andrea Goodwin also listened to the recording of Cynthia Blue’ threats and denial of rights for due process, but nothing was done. We attempted to tell Andrea Goodwin what had happened, but she ignored the Staton family concerns. Immediately when we returned home, a letter was written and sent via email to James Payne, 4/14/05, Child Abuse Hotline was called, and Dr. P was called to report the noted abuse regarding BS’ appearance of severe abuse and Andrea Goodwin’ refusal of medical treatment to be given. The state is obligated to provide adequate medical care, protection, and supervision, Norfleet v Arkansas Dept. of Human Services, 8th Cir. 1993, and also obligated to investigate such reports of abuse, but Andrea Goodwin refused to do so. (Medical procedures of both an MRI and EEG were completed when BS custody was returned to SS. According to the EEG, there is evidence of injury as a large left hemispheric brain lesion with multiple abnormal eptiform waves was noted. The doctor did not read the MRI). In attempts to gain relief from the criminal actions of DCS, we went to the prosecutor’s office, spoke with Stacy Hawk and Linda Majors, again to the State House, spoke to Scott Zarazee, and filed a police report of the fraudulent court actions of perjury and falsification of court documents of Cynthia Blue, and the ignored victimization of SS by the man who made false reports. Calls to DCS were also made to file complaints against Cynthia Blue and Andrea Goodwin for their malicious actions to cause harm and deception. No investigation or given concerns occurred regarding the complaints.
BS was removed from alleged father on 4/15, placed into foster care, but on 4/20/05, Andrea Goodwin, DCS, hand walked the alleged father into court to advocate for him and his parents to have the child. Again, SS, begged for drug toxology screens to be given to the alleged father and his parents, as it was well known of their drug use. The judge asked for a paternity test again, but the man refused, and the alleged dad and family were given the infant.
Several filing were made as urgent need to have an appearance before the judge on 4/20/05, written and submitted by attorney at law, T M, but the filings were ignored. Refusal for further court continued until 6/15/05, without just cause.
On 4/21/05 a tort claim against DCS and State of Indiana was filed. But later denied with findings of no accountability.
On 4/22/05, five family members sat at a meeting with Dan Carmin, then Marion County Director of DCS, and Stephanie Beasley-Fehrman, who addressed herself as the Regional Case Manager for DCS, at the DCS office, 4150 N. Keystone @ 230 pm. Both DCS employees listened to the recording of Cynthia Blue’ coercion, threats, and refusal to honor SS’ rights, and that SS was never getting her baby back. Dan Carmin stated the “medical report was not available but he was sure that BS was given to her father, though he has no legal claim”. After much expression of what was being done and the violation of all rights of SS and BS, and the fear of abuse to BS by the ‘alleged father’, his drug use, and the condition of BS on 4/14/05, again, nothing was done. Later, noted by Andrea Goodwin’ report, the medical reports were present and fully known on 4/09 & 4/11/05. Also, Stephanie Beasley-Fehrman was found on the Indiana Adoption Web Site as the International and State Adoption Specialist, not the Regional Case Manager, as she claimed. When confronted with her misrepresentation, she denied it via email that she did not know what we were speaking of.
Andrea Goodwin called SS to report that BS was going to be seen at St. Francis Hospital South Campus, to be assessed by a Pediatric Neurologist. Andrea Goodwin refused to give a reason for this specialist to assess BS on 6/13/05, and failed to obtain a signed parental consent by SS. (March 2006, attempts were made to gain access to the medical records, but the doctor’s office denied that BS had ever been seen).
Dan Brumfield, DCS, was given the case and was in attendance of the court proceedings on 6/15/05. Though Dan Brumfield was aware of the violations committed by the other DCS workers, and the false accusations, deceptions, and lack of probable cause for the case to be a case, Dan Brumfield stated that none of the facts will get to the judge until the final hearing. Though Dan Brumfield was very aware of the mental disorder, drug use, self mutilation, and leaving a mental hospital AMA, of the man who was given BS, Dan Brumfield also knew that continued drug screens were positive for cocaine and THC. The mother was accused as a drug user, had a lengthy drug screen of ‘negative’, but BS is removed from her care, yet, the man DCS advocated to have BS was notably and actually a continued drug user. Throughout 6/15/05 – 10/19/05, Dan Brumfield documented in his own report, that he knew of and had toxology results that ‘alleged father’ was high with drugs, yet failed to report this to the judge, though SS made much strides to prevent BS from being with the alleged father alone for fear of harm. This DCS worker is not immune for the results of his official conduct simply because he was enforcing policies or orders. Where a statute authorizes official conduct with is patently violation of fundamental constitutional principles, he who enforces that statute is not entitled to qualified immunity. Grossman v. City of Portland , (9th Cir. 1994) Dan Brumfield had the responsibility to report such information to the judge, regardless what his superiors or the DCS attorneys said. Several emergency filings were filed on behalf of SS for BS safety and well-being, but ignored.
Both James Payne and Stephanie Beasley-Fehrman wrote a letter the same day, 7/19/05, as James Payne expressed that “he condoned his staff’ actions”. On this same date, Dwana Heiney, Advocate for children, Guardian ad Litem, came to the home of SS, unannounced to have SS sign documents to release information of ?, as the papers were blank. With much enticement, SS continued to refuse to sign as SS had been instructed by her legal representative, to sign nothing unless he had reviewed the documents. Dwana Heiney was fully aware of the attorney on the case for SS, but she ignored this. Dwana Heiney also took great strides to use deception to discredit the Staton family to a fine line of near defamation. Her report was much one sided, much hearsay used, and she attempted to offer biased non-factual insinuations in a very negative manner against the Staton family, using much hearsay from the alleged father, who she was to also evaluate.
Many false reports, fraudulent reports were made against SS between 7/19-8/5/05, when the ‘alleged father became aware that our family Family had hired a private investigator for detailed information related to him. The alleged father made it clear that he had a ‘friend deputy’. Many attempts were made by the alleged father to cause harm and get as many criminal court hearings against SS as possible. He was quite successful, many reports against SS were filed and dropped, but failed his goal to get Felony charges against her, in order to, “even the playing field of gaining custody of BS”.
Indiana Attorney General responded that though he has been aware of the issues of CPS for the last 14 years while working at the prosecutor’s office, we should simply “do as we are told, or loose”.
Many officials simply refused to respond to the multiple complaints sent begging for help.
On 10/19/05, Juvenile Court granted SS to have BS returned under her care for trial basis for 60 days, and ordered that BS will then thereafter remain under the custody of SS.
On 10/30/05, the alleged father attacked SS in her own vehicle, captured on 911 tape, recorded by the Marion County Sheriff’s Dept. Also, the police who came to the scene refused to honor the court order, in SS’ possession to pick up BS as requested and granted for a family re-union. This was presented to the prosecutor’ office, but SS was laughed at. Nothing was done. This is just one of many assaults suffered, as several law enforcement officers refused to stop the continued harassment and abuse of the alleged father.
Family Works, Terri Thiet, knew the case and use of funds were bogus & fraudulent, but continued without filing a report.
Domestic Relations Court, Susan Hoppe, documented the same slanderous and libelous statements that were not factual or truthful, and again used the name of RS as if this assessor spoke to RS, as she did not. Much of her assessment was one sided and information again, was hearsay from the alleged father. She too was aware of the constitutional and civil rights being horrifically stomped on, but failed to file a report.
On 11/08/05, a Protective Order was filed against the ‘alleged father, as he was stalking, harassing, witnessed vandalizing our family’ property, but it was never served and never given a hearing. Many complaints in writing were submitted but ignored. The petition for the Protective Order was located on the desk on Paternity Court on 12/13/05, as we requested for our attorney to locate the filed order. At this time, once located hidden on the desk of Commissioner Allison Gooden, Paternity, the order was being sent to Juvenile Court, but never was seen or heard of again.
Complaints of the criminal intentional activity of DCS and the threat of harm to BS was given in writing to all governmental agencies, from Attorney General Steve Carter, Attorney General Inspector, David Thomas, Governor, Mitch Daniels, Head of DCS, James Payne, the State Police, Marion County Prosecutor’ office, and Marion County Police Dept. to no relief. All agencies stated there was nothing that could be done, though they were given the facts of the violations, except James Payne, who stated, “I condone what my staff has done”.
On 12/22/05, the Juvenile DCS case closed without any explanation, justification, or purpose for the horrific victimization that was forced upon our family, that resulted with great losses and suffering of BS, SS, RS, SRS, as our entire private life was examined and critiqued as if we were criminals.
Conference with Indiana State Police, Michael Snider, regarding the multiple crimes of DCS actions and violations of protection from such deprivation of civil rights by governmental workers, with all black & white evidence of the perjury, falsification of court documents, and ignored coercing and seizing of BS from SS without probable cause. Though Michael Snider stated he would make sure the evidence was investigated, nothing more has be done or said. The same when Lisa Borges, the Chief of Staff, for Marion County Prosecutor’ Office, Carl Brizzi. Who now is a Marion County Judge. She too, was given stacks of fraudulent statements, perjury, falsification of records, and coerced signatures, but she did the same as Michael Snider, never returned a response. Therefore, the actions taken by Cynthia Blue, and all other state workers who did nothing to stop the actions or the jeopardy BS was place into, is considered to be either a refusal or failure to respond to the multitude reported violations allowed to continue by DCS. Every agency with evidence of violations and incompetence that were allowed to continue at the expense of defaming SS, RS, and alienation of BS from SS without cause, is not and should not be held as a simple error, but a willful decision to disregard and allow citizens to be deprived of their civil and constitutional rights, that governmental officials are to uphold to the best of their capacity. All governmental agencies in the state of Indiana either failed or refused.
October 2006, SS had been notified by the Medicaid Office that she could not renew the Medicaid services request for BS, due to BS was reportedly under foster care, and was receiving funds under the foster care system for the last past year. This was reported immediately to the FSSA office, of which response of the information was quite quick regarding the information for foster care was given by Dan Carmin. However, no explanations were given as we questioned the listing and payment of BS under foster care, as to where or who the foster funds where sent, as BS was only under the short term foster care from 4/15/05 – 4/19/05, done so without notification to SS.

We know the lies, deceptions, and violation of all rights the American soldiers are dying for. More children die every year under state care than the total of soldiers who have died in Iraq war to the present. What did these children die for? The state to profit from the federal governmental incentives, bonuses, programs, grants, and re-imbursements. That is what Child Protection is all about. It is not to protect, as they steal children and place them into danger, as many are murdered at the hands of strangers, but no one is ever prosecuted, because this governmental agency hides the deaths and is not mandated to report the abuse and deaths of the children under their care. The state care. So, as the CPS workers are given the ability to walk as a god, have no accountability or responsibility to prove their allegations and parents are defamed and prevented from their children’ and their constitutional rights, many children are dead, not located, abused, by the hands of strangers, and many parents are defamed, as many families are destroyed. This is what CPS is about. More children die in the US under the care of the state’ than the total deaths of our soldiers in the Iraq War. The federal government fail to listen to the fraudulent use of the fundings, and many children are literally being murdered for the profit of states to gain federal incentives, bonuses, program funds, and grants. Again, do not believe everything you hear, they lie.

Comment by RevealTruth — April 7, 2008 @ 8:51 pm

Don’t believe everything you hear from the governmental agency, called Child Protection Services, Dept of Children. They say they substantiate cases, but most times they lie and cause more harm to children than help. This governmental agency is nothing more than a human trafficking business, as a mafia, and paid for under a governmental agency. Crimes against innocent families, and children that are given to strangers, for foster funds, then adoption for the federal re-imbursements. Those not adopted are then aged out and end up homeless.

Families in Indiana, USA, like all other states in the country, can not protect their own children, as the state makes a profit to remove children from their homes, as children have a price tag on their head. Human trafficking, done by a governmental agency, Child Protection Services, is gaining profits to ’sell’ children, under the facade of protection and violate every right all citizens have.

Over 1000 children died in Indiana in 2004, Governor, Mitch Daniels, campaigned to have an open door policy and stop the large numbers of deaths of children. However, again, over 1000 children died in Indiana, in 2007. No change noted. Child Protection Service is never accountable or responsible for the deaths of any child under state care. Nor, do they have to report the deaths.

We pay for governmental agencies to protect children, then we pay private agencies & attorneys to protect children from the agencies that are to protect. Redundant mis-use of funds. Investigators need to look at the allegations, then look for the actual supportive documentation time line. Much of what CPS documents is bogus, and they willing commit perjury together to conspire to make their lies a fact. The web they weave is intense, but false. But when there is a true abuse report, CPS fails to act. It seems as if they have no criteria or state laws to use as a guideline of what is true abuse or neglect. CPS workers can be subject, biased, and violate the rights of both parents and children, as CPS make up their own rules as they go. They are never held accountable, so who will stop their negligence?

Many children taken from their parents was done so for the state to profit from federal dollars by federal incentives, programs, bonuses, and grants. Many families throughout this nation are devastated, and the lives of children are meaningless to the gain of the dollar profits for the states. Child Protection Services is a facade of ‘protection’, but is really a human trafficking business.

In Indiana, like many other states in the nation, children have a price tag on their heads and large amounts of federal funding given to the state, as the state workers are allowed to commit perjury, make false bogus cases, and parents threaten to remain quiet. If the truth of what Indiana does against parents and children, or the crimes state workers are allowed to get by with, could only be revealed to all.

In the last several months, children have been murdered while under state care, but none of the Dept. of Children workers are investigated or held accountable. The prosecutor does nothing, the police do nothing, the head of the dept., James Payne, ignores and did ignore our cry for help, and the Governor, Mitch Daniels, refuses to respond to our requests to speak to him. The Attorney General protects Dept. of Children, as he refuses to do anything, as he is to protect them. But yet, the Attorney General says his office runs the Consumer Protection Agency. Conflict of interest? The Attorney General, Steve Carter, delights to say citizens can sit at dinner without soliciting phone calls, but forgets to mention we have to donate time to arrange and attend the funerals of many innocent children, who were horrifically murdered. The he protects the agency that did nothing when notified of the danger the children were in. We know the truth. Our legislators and senators, even the suppose to be accountable, governor, does nothing to prevent the state workers from committing crimes against both children and parents. There are many children that are listed under state care, that is just simply MISSING, but the state is still gain funding from the feds for those children. There is never audits, receipts given, or inspections of what is really going on within the dept of Child Protection Services.
Constitutional rights of both children and parents are violated and there is no where to go for help, as Indiana refuses citizens an Ombudsman, as Indiana government fears the truth of their crimes will be revealed.

Comment by RevealTruth — April 7, 2008 @ 8:56 pm

More children die under state care, and they are never accountable or responsible for their negligence. Did you know that each state is given funds by the federal government, and as we noted for Indiana; CPS is a government agency that makes large profits from removing children from homes, but what happens to the children while under state care, is swept under the rug, as least, in Indiana.

Has anyone noticed that all states, including Indiana, receive authorized appropriated federal funds in the sum of 325,000,000 each fiscal year, (per the Title IV, part B, Sub part 1) and then gain $43,000,000 for each fiscal years 2004 through 2008, (which is why more and more children are removed un-necessarily from safe homes to be placed into foster care), and more funds from the federal incentives programs, and grants of $100,000,000, then federal payments for foster care and adoption assistance, just to start off with. CPS is the only agency that does not have to show what they do with their money, as it is a secret.

Moreover, to audit medical care by an insurance company, they review by medical record. So why isn’t each case reviewed for use of funds by case number by an non-biased, nothing to gain, committee? After reviewing the federal Compilation of Titles IV-B, IV-E, and related sections of the SSA (May2006) and the appropriation guidelines and criteria for receiving the federal funds, Indiana state is pocketing billions upon billions of funds, under the facade of children in need of care. SEC.421. [42U.S.C. 621] (a), denotes the federal allotted funds, but does the state reflect the use of the funds, county to county? Does the county budget validate the funds they say they need?

And why is each entity of the Dept of Child Services, separated out to different budgets, but the funds all go toward the same agency? Does our state and county like to use deception of where our money is going? Just where is it going?

You will not find it as CPS Dept of Children has a tightly woven secretive web of distractions and hidden agendas, that never get to be viewed? Wake up Indiana,
